1) Halloween costumes get to be on the inspiration list this week. It seems irrelevant, I know, but let me remind everyone how obsessed I am with dress up performance. I love the variety that kids (and their parents, and corporate money-grabbers) come up with. A favorite from the last five minutes: a homemade cardboard "paper doll."

Okay so I know that kids are not graceful, but after this last tiny Superman, I am starting to get concerned with the lit candles inside of my Jack o'lantern.
2) Pumpkin Carving has also been a seasonally-appropriate inspiration this week. In fact, a pumpkin gathered from Yarnik's farm inspired a small stop-motion project on Saturday. Also, it made yummy seeds.

As for an artist this week, I'm going to go with...
3) Chris Stevens. Though, strictly speaking, he is not an "artist," Stevens grows world-record breaking pumpkins. You can't tell me that the process of growing a 1,810.5 pound fruit is not an art. Also: art made with giant pumpkins (maybe Stevens'?) surfaced on the Google doodle today. Consider this post-project inspiration.
Gotta go tend to the ghouls knocking at the door now - Happy Halloween!
